This recent inauguration of our 44th President Barack Obama represented an historic moment for America. Not only does Obama represent hope and American freedoms as president, an unbelievably large amount of people actually watched the inauguration. Very few people have ever cared enough to watch what can usually be considered a C-SPAN-only quality telecast. This year the President stumbling through his Oath of Office held the nation’s attention better than wardrobe malfunctions at the Super Bowl. While some may believe that this may be the rekindling of hope, American government regaining Americans’ trust, or the re-establishment of dignity in America’s highest office, it is obvious that behind the scenes forces used the inaugural ceremony to try to move along a standing battle against one of America’s most hallowed and cherished establishments: nepotism.
Three notable casualties took place during the ceremony as Senators Kennedy and Byrd were mysteriously transported away from the inaugural luncheon and former Vice President Cheney was confined to a wheel chair before the Secret Service forced him into the back of a black Cadillac. These seemingly legitimate occurrences may have been explained away in the press, but considering the context of removing the last remaining Bush in office from a position of power and suddenly “Change we can believe in” takes on a more ominous tone. The Bush family and the Kennedys have long represented the standard of American nepotism, and it seems that now these patriarchies of privilege are being plagued with possible peril. These old guards and their associates, like Cheney, Byrd and almost every Kennedy that hasn’t died yet, are now seemingly under constant attack. In seemingly unrelated events, Caroline Kennedy was slighted for the New York Senate seat vacated by Clinton, creating a greater opportunity for turnover. No obvious old power replacement for Obama is forthcoming after Oprah shirked the possibility of taking over for the junior Illinois seat, in a state already reeling from an assault on old-boy politics as traditional gubernatorial bribery practices have come under assault.
This power vacuum cannot be explained easily, but can be explained theoretically. These groups so long entrenched in power are not actually being forced out, but duping the public into thinking so in an attempt to escape from harsher consequences when the truth is learned. As the world tries to recover from a global economic crisis, world leaders are losing elections all over, but on purpose. Iceland already forced their Prime Minister, Geir Haarde out of power, but he will not feel any real wrath. In fact if the people of Iceland knew that he was retiring to Portugal with his hush up money from the G-8 to cover up the greatest embezzlement scandal of all time the repercussions would be greater than simply losing office. This is why Bush “stayed the course” in all aspects despite such opposition and historically low approval ratings. It was all part of a plot; an insidious plot so that all of the families in the spotlight, the old guard, could retire on greater fortunes than they already had.
